Real World Governance, Risk and Compliance – adopting Microsoft Purview and beyond with Simon Hudson
Governance, Risk and Compliance; it’s not an IT task, it’s a business programme. While every organisation needs to ‘do’ GRC, not everyone has the expertise, has defined a strategy or has developed the tools and processes. Microsoft Purview has breadth and depth, but even it is just one of the tools your organisation needs and needs to be extended with people, processes and other technologies. This session will provide: – An overview of GRC obligations and approaches – An overview of what’s in Purview and what’s not – A pragmatic approach to elevating your Compliance Score – Wider technical and business thinking for derisking your operations and organisation – A perspective from a Senior Information Risk Officer in a regulated company – Thoughts on using the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 GRC Competency to monitor your programme of work.
